Is "Cotton Picking" hyphenated or not?

We should have picked our own cotton.
Oh, wait, never mind.
Actually, we should have had robots pick our cotton.

It's a topping machine, not a cotton-picker. In China, they "top" the plants (removing apical bud off each and plant) to force them to grow more outward than upward. This gives the plants more yields, but it's very labor intensive.
Here in the US, we do it with chemicals.
Overall, it seems to be marginally better for the threads to do it by hand, but it's so incredibly labor intensive that it makes no sense for large farms.

They missed an opportunity by not putting it in a Dodge Charger shell, sorta like a drag racing funny car.

I wonder if 54 robots with 2 arms each could do it more efficiently?
We’d probably get fatigued by future generations though.
